Thanks for finding me! I am a crocheter, knitter, reader, piano player, music-lover, cooker, administrator, social media-er, and all around trying-to-be-a-good-egg...er. Hang out with me for a while, I'll probably talk about crafts.

One of My Favorite Things...Fairy Lights

"So, you're buying a fairy light!" I didn't know the woman who said this to me in the line at the thrift store. I had picked up this really cool blue glass jar-looking thing and was waiting to purchase it. And older women in line behind me informed me that this thing I was purchasing was called a "fairy light." Or at least that's what "they" called them in the 70's, she said.

Since that day, I've picked up two more fairy lights that are slightly different and I have them clustered together on one end of our mantle. As you can see, these fairy lights cast a beautiful glow when they are lit with tea-light or votive candles. I just love them and the lights they project onto the wall and mantle.
